Room For EVERYBODY.

Some one recently remarked that
~ the whole human race were divided
into families OF i've persons each, the
State OF Texas. America, is large
enough 10 supply half an acre OF land
10 each family. The statement sur.
prised some people, and not few OF
them declared hastily. without per
forming the necessary calculations,
that IL could not DO true.
But IL is true. There are supposed
20 DO about 1000 million persons
living on the globe. A half-acre to
each family OF i've would require one
acre for 10 persons, or lao million
acres in all. The area OF Texas IL
more than 100000 square miles, or
nearly 1873 million acres.
Consequently there would be sur
plus OF almost 48 millions left over
after every family was provided for,
which would DO sufficient for four or
Ave times the present population oil
the United States.
Not many people realize how little
space would be needed 10 accomo.
date the whole human race, assembled
in one place. Suppose We were to
fancy every human being forming
one Of vast congregation. seated in
l,40O million easy chairs, each occu-
plying q square yard Of ground space:
As there are nearly 100000
square yards in o square mile, that
number represents the size OF the
congregation that could be seated up
on it under the conditions named ;
and the whole human family could be
gathered en- a track Of 452 square
miles-or twenty one and q quarter
miles each way.
Less than two-fifths Of the area OF
the little State Of Rhode Island would
suffice to give comfortable seating
room TO the whole human race. One
twelfth of the area Of Rhode Island
would BIO enough to afford standing
room-as people stand in crowd,
without crushing--to every man, wo-
man and child on the face OF the
globe.
